Experience

1. Senior Manager Global Supplier Qa- Europe & Asia Region

   Abbott

   Feb 2024 — Present · Mumbai, IN

   In my role, I ensure that suppliers of nutritional ingredients (such as dairy, oils, sugar, flavors, minerals, agro commodities, and excipients) and critical service providers within the assigned supply chain meet Abbott\'s requirements. I serve as the first point of contact for all supplier-related queries, new supplier qualifications, and quality issues for Abbott sites, Procurement, NPI, and R&D teams. A key responsibility is leading the supplier qualification process and maintaining compliance status by routinely conducting audits according to Abbott\'s expectations. This involves proactive quality management for an assigned pool of suppliers, ensuring supplier excellence and quality improvement plans (including capability development, QMS & FSMS, and risk management) are in place and on track. My goal is to achieve 100% right-first-time ingredients at user sites through quality by design, data-driven decisions, and long-term strategic planning. In my role, I set, monitor, and manage the budget for the year, ensuring financial resources are allocated effectively to meet organizational goals.
